COIN-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,228,dated January 10, 1882. Application filed July 25, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER O. KoRNBEoK,

a resident of. the city of New Orleans, parish of Orleans, and State of Louisiana, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in (loin-Holders; and I'do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and correct description of the same, reference being hadv to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to pack and even transport coin for the use of bank-tellers, brokers, and others having occasion to handle gold,silver, and other coins. Its nature is such 1 that it exposes the edges of the coin contained therein,thus enabling persons to satisfy themselves as to the numberand gen uineness of the same. Furthermore, it renders impossible the extraction of coin without opeuingsor breaking the package. i 0n the drawings, Sheet 1, Figure 1 is' a side elevation of the device when made circular in form and filled with coin. Fig. 2is a vertical section of the same; Figs. 3 and 4, the oppo- 2 site heads thereof; Fig. 5, the device with top removed to show lhe manner in'which the coin is placed therein; and Fig. 6 represents the inner side of the lower head. On Sheet 2, Fig. 8 represents an elevation of the device when 0 made rectangular in form. In this figure onehalf of the device is shown in section. Fig. 7 is a top view of the latter figure, and Fig. 9 the said figure with top removed.

' On the drawings, A B represent the plates,

5 the inner sides of which are bored or recessed to a certain extent to receive the opposite ends of a central cylinder, G, and of the ends of a series of rods, 61 cl, &c.

The central portion of each circular head is 0 bored to admit'of the passage through the same ofa locking-bolt, as shown at E. If the plates are made other than circularin form, two or more bolts on a central line are used, instead of one, as at E E, the outside of the heads 5 in each casebeing recessed, so that the bolthead and nut shall not project above the surfaces thereof.

placed, so as to show ata glance the name ofthe party or parties by whom packed, and whether or not the package has been tampered with.

The diameter of the cylinder 0, bolts E E, and pins d, as well as the distance between the centers of same, will, as a matter of course, be governed by the size of the holder and of the coin to be packed therein.

In the event of any column of coin not reaching the level of the others, the intervening space should be filled in with blanks of any desired material, as shown at z.

()n Sheetl, the drawings represent a holder containing five columns of forty-two coins each, and one column of forty coins, makinga total of two hundred and fifty coins. Supposing twenty dollars to be the value of each, the sum total would be five thousand dollars."

The seal is applied im mediately over the boltheads, nuts, or washers, or over a tape passed through perforations inthe platesand between the columns of coin, as shown at x in Sheet 2.

The rods (1 are intended as guards to prevent the breaking of the columns ofcoin by the prying out of any portion ofthe same. These rods may in certain cases be dispensed with, but it is deemed much safer to employ them.

Having described my invention, whatIclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

, As a new article of manufacture, the coinholder consisting of the two removable heads tube, 0, rods d, and the central bolt, E, substantially as described. In testimony whereofI have hereunto signed my name.
